View Full Version : Recently Acquired an Andromeda Modded DVX100, Searching for the Sculptor HD Software!

Good evening, everyone!

As the topic headline details, I recently became the proud owner of a Panasonic DVX100, outfitted with the rare Andromeda USB streaming modification.

I've been trying to track down the elusive Sculptor HD software to enable the capture functions but I keep running into dead ends (dead/abandoned online accounts and others who no longer have an archive of the software).

It was suggested by one person I spoke to that I reach out to the dvinfo community, that if anyone could still point me in the right direction in finding it, it'd be you guys.

So that's the long and short of it. If any of you have the software and are willing to share it or point me in the right direction, you have my eternal gratitude! If I manage to get a hold of the software, I promise to post resulting captures once I'm up and running!

Since getting the camera I have been putting together a run and gun solution for outdoor and on the go recording, a 2005 era PC laptop "hackintoshed" into running Snow Leopard off of an SSD, with a secondary modular bay outfitted with a hot-swappable hard drive bay that will house a 2TB storage drive for recording onto. This way I can treat SSDs like video cartridges for quick change out for extended recording on the go. I can put the laptop into a strapped satchel, start the recording software and close the lid to the laptop for portable recording. Now all I need is the software to record!

Hi Thomas, welcome to DVi.

Sculptor HD is mentioned at least once here:

Hopefully we'll get some input on this topic from other members.
